I just completed my first DIY project: a guitar headphone amplier (from a kit... kind of a cheat but...).
It wasn't too difficult and sounds pretty good. There is some slight amount of hiss that is audible when connected to the guitar but that could be because of the cheap electric guitar I own (Squier mini) or the really cheap headphones I was using for fear of ruining my good headphones. Overall, I am happy with it, I had fun making it, and I learned a lot in the process.
Now I have to figure out what to do next. I have all the parts to make a CMOY (I bought them around the time I found the guitar hp amp kit). I don't really need one but I guess it is good practice and I could always give it away to someone.
The picture of the soldering joints was taken late at night and it is not such a good picture.
